Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

What about the Bay Ridge Line? It runs parallel to the heaviest portion of the B6/B6 LTD and could serve as a valuable transfer between Brooklyn's subway lines. It would branch off at Livonia, and terminate at 62/New Utrecht (no point in being redundant to the L or N lines). It would be served by either rerouting half of the L trains or extending the V train.

My idea has always been to build a new tunnel from Chruch LL, and hooking it up to the Bay Ridge ROW heading east. Then, you'd have through service on the line, on a line not being used to capacity. Hooking it up at the other end (the L line) would require too long a travel time for one-seat riders.
